Ben Cross incident

[simostorm]

He knee'd Hill or something didnt he?
How many weeks you reckon he'd get?

 

[hrundi99]

I was talking to someone within the judiciary system yesterday and he reckons maybe 5 weeks.

 

[chileman]

Was very dumb....everyone knows what Hill is going to do and instead of smashing him legally (which most players Cross' size could do to old man Hill) he resorts to a cheap shot with the knees.......yet again Hill wins the battle with his mouth!

 

[aussies1st]

Seems like Cross got 4 weeks. Hes Melbourne's worry now.

i noticed while watching the game on saturday, that after ben cross puts in the chip and chase into the corner and forced a drop out with 30 seconds to go. the camera went to him and he burst into tears.. i'd say he was maybe sad to leave, or sad that he didnt get terry cleanly, or maybe that he got sin binned, for what seemed to be absolutely no good reason. steven clark was so sh*t the other night. f**kin wanker.

 

[Copa]

He's going to Melbourne... won't impact upon the Raiders.

SHould have taken his head off then.....










Just kidding..... maybe.

Yeah, but between the WCC and 2 other trial games, he'll be available in round 2. ;-)

 

[Raider_69]

say what you will about him but he played his heart out for us, he showed pride and passion for the green machine far beyond anyone else in the team

SUPER CROSS!

 

[Macko8]

still cant believe we are letting our big enforcer leave for melbourne.
has been by far the biggest hitter over the past few years.
should of did alot more to terry hill and that matai twig.
we are going to lack his aggression in 06.

 

[woodgers]

Nah I see what people are saying about him finishing the year off with passion and pride but he really wasn't a good player at the end of the day (sorry 69!). We like him because he goes out on the paddock and tries to put massive hits on every tackle he is involved in but a lot of them he got totally wrong and anything outside of that he was totally rubbish at. Put it this way, I think he will be playing a lot of footy in QLD next year.

 

[Raider_69]

foul lies and slander
the bloke makes close to 10 metres every hit up he takes, thats a good forward right there... all he needs to rid his silly penalties and occasional loose hands and he'll be right... he will be in melbournes starting team next year

 

[aussies1st]

Yeah, but between the WCC and 2 other trial games, he'll be available in round 2. ;-)

Now that is confidence :lol:

 

[raidar]

I hope he goes really well for the storm next year.

 

[Sully]

SUPER CROSS WILL BE MISSED.

Look at Hindmarsh, Hill gave him a gob full and one player stepped up.

Yes a loose cannon but at least he rips in!

 

[Raider_69]

amen, cross is a f**kin champion
i wont hear anything different

 

[Sully]

I tell you what:

When the Army travel to Melbourne next year we'll give him heaps afterwards.

I just dont want to be on the recieving end of one of those Hay Makers!!!

 

[ed bbay]

if half the team played with the power & aggression of ben cross we would of finished
higher up , instead we played like girls with sore wrists (wehyman) & didn,t or couldn,t tackle properly (woolford) if woolford was on the open market no other team in australia would want him but were paying him 300 + STUIPID !!! .

 

[MILLWALL]

lol cross was the worst player you say of he played with pride and passion etc in the last game and yet you bag smith for last season when he kept smashing the roosters

 

[Raider_69]

Smith was tripe
Cross was awesome...

its just that simple

 

[MILLWALL]

What did cross do that was good? do alot of high shots? knees?
